Oswell Odwa, a teenager in Masele, paints in my journal. Oswell told us that he is a historian, and hopes to become a lawyer. A serious and sweet young man!The painting:
Another painting in my journal by a few young men in Masele:
I spent an afternoon hanging out with many of the children and teenagers of Masele. Not only did they paint in my journal, they also taught me many Xhosa words. A wonderful memory and experience! Shaina was ill in bed, and the rest of the group had gone off to visit an orphanage, where they met Mrs. Mbeki, President Thabo Mbeki's mother. Yet I don't regret missing that, as my own time with the youth was so special.
